megadetector-gui VS mnm

On (some) weekends I work on Megadetector GUI [0]. Megadetector [1] is an object detection model trained on millions of camera trap images and is widely used by conservationists. The issue is that it's rather technical to set up, so I made a GUI for it.

Currently working on a brand new version (not public just yet) that will use the latest MD version (v5 is way faster), better UI and most importantly GPU support out of the box.

> ML to identify gorillas by their unique nose prints

Really cool stuff. I wonder if face detection is sufficient too? It has been proven to work for brown bears [0].

I have also been doing some open source work [1] to democratise object detection in this space but I haven't had the time to make improvements to the project in a while.

In case any camera trap folk are here, I'm currently volunteering with the NZ Department of Conservation to build an AI-assisted image sorting tool that speeds up the weeding out of empty images.

This currently used to assist the conservation efforts of various endemic species such as the kakapo, kea and takahe. (The ML model used is not limited to just these species!)

TMTP a Internet protocol combining elements of email and the web\ (3 comments)

And yet none of those corporations has displaced email, despite the fact that it has become a universal cyberattack channel, with a stagnant UX that doesn't address most real-world use cases for email!

I saw a need for a safer, better, decentralized protocol for email, so I drafted one (TMTP) and implemented client & server. More at:

Related protocol projects in development include:

The primary problem for email at this point is that it's a highly effective cyberattack channel, because it allows anyone, claiming any identity, to send you any content, without limits. This cannot be "fixed" as it's the intended function.

No one was working on an alternative that addresses this problem, so I drafted & implemented "TMTP".

Before ditching SMTP/etc, we'd need something to replace them.

TMTP (my work) is a candidate. More at https://mnmnotmail.org/

Well here's TMTP, a new email protocol, which uses a mix of text (JSON) for headers and binary for attachments.
